Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day...

Mine was AWESOME...sorta. 

Despite having two sick little babies, it was fun. 

I got to enjoy a lunch date with my husband and 8 month old (SO rare that I get to see him in the daylight), and my older daughter was finally able to go back to school after battling an ear infection and sinus infection the week prior. 

 

Here are a few images from my Valentine's Day yesterday. 

 

I should explain the box that looked like V-Day threw up on it. 

My older daughter, Savannah, was told by her teacher to make a mailbox that all of her classmates could place their Valentines to her in. 

I initially planned to create a simple, cute box with a few necessary hearts, pinks, reds, and of course, some glitter. 

However, when I reread her school's newsletter, in the fine print was a mention of these mailboxes being a competition, and the best one would receive a special prize. 

Immediately, my competitive nature was turned up to 11. 

Despite the fact that a competition amongst 3 and 4 year olds is completely ridiculous, I felt the need to win, no matter the cost. 

Hence, the ridiculous, over-the-top box that has an altar built upon it. 

I'm not sure if there was an actual winner, because when I picked her up, all of the kid's boxes had ribbons on them, BUT...if there would've been an overall winner...

Savannah's would have taken the victory. 

Also, I should mention that the above orchids are from my husband. 

If you haven't been able to determine from my odd posts, 

I am a unique individual. 

My husband gets this and decided that I needed a more unique flower arrangement than the traditional bouquet of roses. 

He knows me so well and I totally dig it. 

If I had planned ahead better, I would have worn this outfit below to our Valentine's lunch.

Marc by Marc Jacobs cream blouse, $250
Joseph black zipper jacket, $660
Stella McCartney cotton short shorts, £329
Oasis tight, $15
GUESS platform shoes, $72
Prada grey handbag
Elizabeth Cole yellow gold jewelry, $165
Gold tone jewelry, $110
LORD TAYLOR yellow gold jewelry, $350
Alexander McQueen gold tone jewelry, £195
ASOS gold tone jewelry, $14

Since I didn't plan ahead, 

I went with my standard leggings, gifted "do-me" boots, lace top, and a blazer.

So. Boring. 

Oh well!

I hope you all had a WONDERFUL day of love, 

whether it be with your significant other, a family member, friend, well-loved pet, or simply took a day to love yourself, 

XOXO all around. 

So, did YOU have a good day of love?
